Muslims who voted for Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks

Source: msn/Reuters

11h


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration's support for Israel's war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.

"Trump won because of us and we're not happy with his secretary of state pick and others," said Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe.

Trump picked Republican senator Marco Rubio, a staunch supporter of Israel for Secretary of State. Earlier this year, Rubio said he would not call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and that he believed Israel should destroy "every element" of Hamas. "These people are vicious animals," he added.

Trump also nominated Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and staunch pro-Israel conservative who backs Israeli occupation of the West Bank and has called a two state solution in Palestine "unworkable", as the next ambassador to Israel.

I have a friend whose 28 y.o. niece (in New York) voted for dt (supposedly because of her boyfriend). She's of child bearing age! But, for right now, N.Y. is safe in terms of reproductive care. Having said that, what's going to happen if there's a national abortion ban?

The problem with America is that there are a lot of people who vote their emotions, and are easily lead on hot button issues.
Muslims and Jews alike were both manipulated by the Republicans, and they did just what they were "guided" to do...help elect Trump.
This also worked well with the immigration issue, and inflation.
Unfortunately, most of these voters never wake up enough to realize how they have been used.
This is how a nation comes to embrace dictatorship. Use fear and anger to demonize your opponents, and just watch the people flock to your side.

1. to stay out of jail.
2. to continue the grift.
neither of these reasons does anything for anyone, unless having an extremely large unlubricated dildo repeatedly shoved up your ass is considered a plus.

Yes, I know that most voted for disruptor Jill Stein, but that wasted vote helped Trump. So, I give zero fucks about their concerns. Ditto for all the morons who voted for the conman and just now found out how tariffs work. Let me laugh, while we all march to the poor house.

Once Trump - or any other politician - convinces a certain section of the population to vote for him, he has what he wants - a mandate to do whatever.

Why would Muslims think Trump owes them anything?

Trump will do what is good for his rich admirers. And American Muslims, you're not in the rich white male influential club.

The dotard passed that order prohibiting travel to the US by individuals from Muslim countries on January 27, 2017. For someone to have that much animosity and enact legislation within a week of inauguration should have made an indelible impression to the Muslim community. Potentially unforgivable.

https://immigrationhistory.org/item/muslim-travel-ban/

Instead, the community chose to support the dotard in 2024 with his empty promises. Well, you’re finding out in 2025 how far your vote with the dotard. And it probably will be worse.

No sympathy whatsoever.
